What are Strategies?™
Powered By Ploydeck
Strategies are an integral part of Ploydeck DAO. They are designed to optimize the potential of Liquid Lockers. Each pool from the underlying protocols with a gauge can have a corresponding strategy on Ploydeck DAO. These strategies are boosted by veTokens owned by the Liquid Locker, benefiting all users who have deposited into the corresponding strategies.
Get Started
How does it work?
Users can deposit their LP tokens, earned from providing liquidity in underlying protocols, into a strategy. Regardless of the scenario, these LP tokens will be directed to the underlying Liquidity Gauge.
To save on gas costs, users have the option to deposit without making an additional deposit in the underlying protocol liquidity gauge. In this case, the next user who deposits (and this time also to the underlying gauge) will receive 0.1% of the previous depositor's balance.
Strategies utilize the corresponding Liquid Locker veToken balance to boost rewards.
Users have the choice to either claim their rewards directly or to re-compound them into the Liquid Locker. This ensures that the Locker will always have a full boost.

Harvesting
As strategies are linked to the reward contracts of underlying protocols, the rewards needs to be harvested to goes on Ploydeck DAO gauges (and be claimed by users). Anyone can harvest these rewards, demonstrating the system's decentralized nature. Rewards are then distributed according to the fee structure, ensuring a transparent process.
Missing strategies?
If a strategy is missing (i.e., there is an underlying LP pool, a Liquid Locker for that protocol, but no corresponding strategy on Ploydeck DAO), anyone can deploy a strategy through Factories.
Step 1: Deposit
Deposit your LP tokens into a strategy. Your tokens will be directed to the underlying Liquidity Gauge, deposited via the Liquid Locker.
Step 2: Harvest (if needed)
If it's profitable, perform a harvest operation for everyone. Fees are distributed in accordance with the fee structure.
Step 3: Boost and Claim Rewards
Your deposited tokens will utilize the Liquid Locker veToken balance to boost rewards. You can choose to claim your rewards directly or re-compound them into the Liquid Locker.
